The Bentley Mulsanne is one of the newest sedan models from Bentley. This model has been meticulously planned by this luxury auto maker for over half of a century and it was definitely worth the wait. The Mulsanne offers the highest level of quality in every part on the vehicle. There is no detail to small and there is no design or engineering concept that has not been thought out carefully to design one of the world's most impressive luxury vehicles.

This Bentley model integrates the best concepts of classic design and integrity with the best of today's technology to make a $285,000 Bentley like no other on the market. Breaking away from the W-12 engine found in many other models, the Mulsanne comes standard with a 6.75 liter V-8 engine that gives 505 horsepower and giant 752 foot pounds of torque to the road. The attention to detail in the production can be instantly noticed when you enter the cabin of this vehicle, but cannot be fully appreciated until the vehicle is operating so you can hear how quit a cabin can be.

One of the most expensive new vehicles on display at next month's Geneva Motor Show will be the Bentley Mulsanne Mulliner, a "distinctive and sporting" take on the company's super-luxurious sedan. Bentley also will use the Geneva show to unveil two new option packages for the glitzy Mulsanne.

What rhymes with Mulsanne? We’re not sure, but we’ll likely soon find out: it’s been reported that Bentley is now aggressively courting former Maybach fans and owners, including rapper Jay-Z and actor Samuel L. Jackson.

Bentley has a storied history with the 24-hour Le Mans, including its participation in the very first race in 1923. Bentley has raced its way to six first-place titles, including a 1st and 2nd place win in 2003 with its Bentley Speed 8 race cars.

Bentley hasn't let us sample the Mulsanne yet, but we're seen it a few times now. We can tell you it will cost at least $285,000 to park one in your garage. And you'll have to wait until fall to take delivery, even if you've already got the $285,000 socked away.
